The Lakers have waived G Vander Blue.

The Lakers now have another roster spot open to sign a player on a two-way deal, but two-way players are not the kind of guys that are likely to establish themselves as relevant names in fantasy hoops. Jan 12 - 2:25 PM

The 25-year-old guard finished with just one rebound, one assist and one personal foul. He's not on the fantasy radar, of course, and his current two-way contract limits the amount of games he can play away from the G-League. Sun, Nov 12, 2017 12:05:00 AM

Vander Blue has agreed to a two-way contract with the Lakers.

He'll spend the majority of the season in the G-League, but he's allowed to spend up to 45 days with the Lakers in 2017-18. He's not on the fantasy radar in the vast majority of leagues, but could be called up for the first two games of the season with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope suspended. Wed, Oct 18, 2017 12:14:00 AM

It'll be interesting to see what the Lakers do in their first two games with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope suspended. They may have to slide Brandon Ingram over in the short term or bust out Josh Hart despite not getting much playing time this month. Jordan Clarkson will be busy regardless.

Lonzo Ball (knee) said he feels "good enough to play," but will sit out through the All-Star break and is planning on returning Feb. 23 vs. Dallas.

As expected, Ball will not compete in the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday night. Ball said he still feels a little discomfort when he pushes off the left knee on defense. However, he also told reporters that he would be playing now if these were playoff games. Ball plans to get in full-contact, full-speed practices before returning to game action.

"I’m pretty sure that i got my appendix removed I’ll be able to dunk at least [three times] a month now," Frye said on Twitter. This probably explains why Frye was out for personal reasons on Thursday and now he’ll be targeting an early March return.
